Bike V Car Part 1,987, 567.

[Lou Girardin]

Autocar magazine in the UK do a yearly 0 - 100mph - 0 test. Usually it's won by some barely legal track day car.
This year they entered a K5 Gixxer 1000.
Guess what won? Hee hee hee.
Mind you, it was only by .06 secs. But the bike cleaned all the cars up to 160k's, it clocked 5.63 secs.

But the Ultima is a serious track car, not really much use on the road - no windows, you sit below road level, hilarious rear visibility, engine only happy above Mach 2, useless in traffic, extremely wide....... .........

brooo its GTR! Must be supra fast car. Would look mean with some huge appendage removing chromes and a body kit that would knock over elephants!

And the exhaust should be re routed to a mic that plugs into the 18" subs.

I note on that site it states a time for the Ultima of 9.8s for 0-100-0.
The time autocar achieved for the k5 gixxer thou was, ahem "only" 10.8s...

mind you $US118k vs $US12k puts things into perspective.
